We've definitely been getting a much needed break from the deep freeze temperatures. We snuck out of our caves, and went on a little tobogganing adventure this past Saturday. I don't want to mislead you, the above pic is of Mont St-Hilaire, the mountain right by home. I always admire and love seeing it in the different seasons. Can't wait to climb it this summer. :)
We ended up tobogganing on an even bigger mountain! Jk It was a local hill that was safer and much smaller. :)
They had a fair climb to the top
Despite the nice temperatures, it was pretty windy but the boys were all smiles!
Zach said it was the best day of his life. He kept asking Rich if it was his too bc we were all laughing so much!
Rogue toboggan
and the capture...
Josh made it down the hill without smashing into a fence! Sweet!
It was smooth sailing for the most part
With some bumps
and funny spills!
We all had a great time but were in need of some serious hot chocolate afterward!
It was a big success!
The weekend before, Olga came over for supper, I'm on a sweet potato kick at the moment and have been making different sweet potato dishes. This time we had baked chicken breasts on a ciabatta bread with sweet potato fries and a curry dip. It was yummy! I usually make a baked chicken curry with grilled veggies etc on the ciabatta...but Olga has a sensitive stomach. Olga and I caught up on daily events (even though we talk almost daily!), her and Rich beat Little Big Planet on PS3, and we enjoyed a yummy dessert as always. It was a great time as usual!
Super Bowl Sunday, Mom and Dad came to visit, and had...Chicken a la Mommy! While in England, Rich's Mom Sue was nice enough to cook it twice! The second time I was her sous chef and got a chance to learn straight from the pro's recipe! (not Rich's, cough cough ;))
I've made it twice since I got back! It's basically a chicken pot pie.
I love the fact that it's made from scratch, and then I make soup with the broth of the boiled chicken. Sooo yummy. My parents loved it!
Looks like it was a brilliant day with ALL the boys enjoying the tobogganing :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the Chicken dish worked out. I am pretty sure the rules state that once you've made it for guests and they love it, you are then officially allowed to call it 'Chicken a la Katherine'.
